Portrait of Young Aviator in Flight Gear, WWII-Era Training Photo (Double Exposure)

A young aviation cadet poses in full flight gear outside a training-base building, his leather A-2 jacket and helmet marking him as part of the wartime generation of American airmen. A double-exposure flaw in the original film adds a ghostly overlay, a common artifact of period snapshot cameras. From the Pat McAleer photograph collection. Project: 218193
